The Oak Ridge RIet.

lOuaehitA (La.l Telegraph
The telegraphic accounts of the
Oak Ridge riot have been rather
meager but We are enabled to give
pretty much the true details of the
deplorable affair from information
derived from parties from the
scene ofaction.
On the 18th ult., a negro had
been arrested for an alleged erimi-
nal assault upon a white woman.
Upon investigation the evidence
did not disclose any criminality
upon the part of the negro and he
was discharged. The people of
the Ridge were highly incensed
against the negro, however, and
that night took him out for the
purpose of whipping him aud for
eng him to leave the country.
While in the act of whipping the
negro the party of whites were
fired upon from ambush by a crowd
of negroes headed by Jerry Bald.
win. Two whites, Messrs. Baker
and Gardiner, were wounded.
This act brought about a race
issue, with dire results, and termi-
mated, as it only could, in the utter
humiliation of the negroes engag-
ed in it.
After shooting into the whites
as before stated, Baldwin and his
crowd went to a negro cabin near
by and waited for renewal of the
trouble. The whites got reinforce.
ments and ascertalning early Mon.
day morning, the whereabouts OF
Baldwin, went to arrest him and
those with him. When the whites
got within shooting distance Of the
cabin they were again fired upon
by Baldwin and his crowd. G. w
Higginbotham was instantly killed
and John Oonger mortally wound
ed, and Messrs Moore, Baker ani
Gardner were slightly wounded
The fire was returned with deadly
effect, six negroes being instantly
killed. Four Of the negroes wht
managed to escape were subse
quently captured and hung. Mon

have received your invitation
to attend as a guest of the Phil
adelphia brigade, re union of ex-
Confederate soldiers of Pickett's
division who survived their terri.
BILE charge at Gettysburg, and
those fthe Union army still living
by whom it was heroicallly resist
ed.
The fraternal meeting of these
soldiers upon the battle field where
twenty.four years ago in deadly
fray they fercely sought each
others lives, where they saw their
comrades tall and ghere all their
thoughts were upon vengeance
and destruction, well illustrates
the generous impulse ofbrave men
and their honest desire for peace
and reconciliation.
The friendly assault there to be
made will be resistless because in
spired by American chivalry and
its results will be glorious, because
conquered hearts will be the tro.
phies of success. Thereafter this
battle field will be consecrated by
victory which shall presage the
end of the bitterness of strife, the
exposure of the sincerity which
conceals hatred by professions of
kindness, the condemnation of
frenzied appeals to passion for un.
worthy purposes and the beating
down Of all that stands in the way
of the destiny of our united coun.
try. While those who have fought
and who have so much to forgive
lead In the pleasant ways of fpeace,
how wicked appear the traffic in
sectional hate aud the betrayal of
patriotic sentiment.
1t surely can't be wrong to de.
sire the settled quiet which lights
for our entire country the path to
prosperity and greatness; nor need
the lesson of war be forgotten and
its results jeopardized in the wish
for that genuine fraternity which
inspires national pride and glory

TAe Origin Of Yankee Doodle.
lChristian at wOrk.l

The origin of yankee Doodle"
is by no means as clear as the Ame-
rican antiquarians desire. The
statement that the air was com.
posed by DR.. Shacksburg in 1855,
when the colonial troops united
with the British regulars near AL.
bany, preparatory to the attack on
the French posts of Niagara and
Frontenac, and that it was pro-
duced in derision of the old fash.
Toned equipment of the provincial
soldiers, as contrasted with the
neat and orderly appointments Of
the regulars was published some
years ago in a musical magazine
printed in Boston. in which article
it is stated that he recommends the
song, as we'll known piece of mil.
itary music, to the officers Of the
militia. The joke succeeded, and
"Yankee Doodlen was hailed with |
reclamation as their own march. |
The account is somewhat apocry-
phal, as there Is no song the tune
in the United States is a march
there are no words to ii Of a nation.
al character. The only words ever
affixed to the air in this country
are the following doggerel quat.
rain:
Yankee Doodle came to town
10 buy little pony
lie stuck feather In his hat
And called II macaroni.
1t has been asserted by English
writer's that the air and words of
these lines are as old as CromwelPs
time. The only alteration is In
making "Yankee Doodlen Of what
was "Nankee Doodle" II is as.
serted that the tune will be found
in the "Musical Antiquities" of
England, and that "Yankee Doc.
die" was intended to apply to
Cromwell, and the other lines were
designed to "allude to his going
into Oxford, with single plume fas'
tened in q knot called q macaroni."
The tune was known in New Eng
land before the Revolution az
"Lydla Fishers Jig" name deri'
we'd from a famous lady who lived
in the reign Of Charles II, and
which has been pepetuated in the
following nursery rhymes:
Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher foundit;
Not bit Of money in 1t,
Only binding round 1t.
The regulars in Boston, In 177i
and 1776, are said to have sung
verses to the same:
Yankee Doodle came to town
For to buy fire lock;
We will tar and feather him,
! And so will Johnny Hancock.
The manner in which the tune
came to be adopted by the Ameri
cans is shown in the following let
ter of Rev. w. Gordon. Describ
ing the battle of Lexington and
Concord, before alluded to, he
says: The brigade under Lord
Percy marched out (of Boston,
playing by way of contempt, yam
kee Doodle They were after
ward told that they had been made
to dance to it.p 1t is most likely
that "Yankee Doodlen was origi
nally derived from Holland. A
song with the following burden
has long been in use among the
laborers, who in the time of har'
vest migrate from Germany to the
Low Countries, where they receive
for their work as much buttermilk
as they can drink and a tenth oI
! the grain secured by their exer'
tions:
? Yanker didel, doodle doun
Didel dudel lanter,
Yankee viver voover vown,
Buttermilk and tanther.
} That means, we suppose, butter
milk and tenth.
